Fetal rhabdomyoma

Rhabdomyoma is a benign mesenchymal tumor of skeletal muscle, separated into two major categories based on site: Cardiac and extracardiac. They are further separated by histology: fetal (myxoid and cellular), juvenile (intermediate), and adult types. Genital types are recognized, but are often part of either the fetal or juvenile types. The fetal type is thought to recapitulate immature skeletal muscle at about week six to ten of gestational development.
